Feed to bird weight conversion chart

I put together this chart for my meat birds I plan to sell this summer. It is based on buying 50 lbs. bags of starter for three weeks at $14.99 and 50 lbs, bags of finisher at $13.99. The cost column is based on the number of bags for 150 birds. I used Welp's conversion table and averaged their male female numbers.If this chart wraps (i.e. column numbers 8 & 9 are on the left side of your screen), you must make your browser window larger.

Okay maybe this will explain it better. Basically what I did is use an average of Welp's grow out chart in the first 2 columns. Column 3 is the amount of daily intake for 50 birds, so I plan on feeding 3.85 lbs. a day on average per 50 chicks. Column 4 is the cumulative amount for 50 birds from week one to week eight. Column 5 is the cumulative amount of food to be given from week 1 to week 8. Columns 6, 7, and 8 is the weekly amount of feed needed and the number of 50 lbs. bags needed for 50, 100 and 150 chicks. Column 9 is the cost of each bag multiplied by the number of bags needed to give a weekly cost of feeding 150 birds. If a person would be feeding 100 birds for instance you could multiply the numbers in Column 7 by the cost of feed in your area to get your local numbers. The bag cost for 100 birds is
$16.16
$28.44
$46.06
$64.32
$80.69
$92.97
$101.36
$105.45
$535.46

I can't follow your columns as I still only had 2 sips of coffee this morning. Please simplify...are each of the Welp's columns' totals for 50, 100 or 150 birds or ? I assume that that Welp's chart refers to the Cornish X chickens only. Other breeds' feed consumption for age such as Freedom Rangers, and other DP will NOT apply. Please summerize and identify and label the totals and include the total meat yield (for how many birds). It would be much easier to follow if it was based for 100 birds. I could simply move the decimal point to the left if I had only 10 birds, then multiply by 2 if I had 20. or by 5 for 50, etc. Have you raised your own 150 chickens yet, and if so, how close did you come to those feed consumtion figures to your real world? Thank you.

The Welp's averages are only in the first two columns. This does apply to Cornish X's and should result in an average 4.25 lbs dressed bird. Sorry I base the chart on 100 birds. I'm raising 150 in a batch, so I put this together to give me an idea at what I am looking at for feed cost. I haven't raised 150 at one time yet, but I did do 50 last fall. The consumption numbers were similar, but this batch will be done in tractors and on grass.

I now have consumed 3 cups of coffee... When I run the figures using Neil's posting for Industry average and my area's price of $15.99/50 lbs. comparing to your chart for feed consumtion at your lesser cost per 50 lbs. for 50 birds at 6 weeks ... my calculator is doing some funny math for your cost / bird . Please summerize your totals to elaborate.
